Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen says some of the 76 recommendations stemming from the royal commission into the banking and financial sector can be passed through parliament as early as next week.
The Coalition says it will carefully assess the report's findings, which included stricter penalties for negligent mortgage brokers and greater oversight of financial advisors.
Mr Bowen says the government should look to legislate some of Commissioner's Kenneth Hayne's 'no brainer' recommendations when parliament resumes next week
He told reporters on Thursday that government should extend the days parliament sits before the election in order to legislate a substantial amount of the commission's recommendations.
Parliament is due to sit for ten days prior the next election.
